Message boards are more like a community.
MySpace has some benefits but community is not one of them.
I guess the problem is that MySpace is time consuming and after all the effort it takes to set one up, people are compelled to want their pages to succeed, so more time is spent (consumed) while the message boards fade into obscurity!
I wonder how many Hostboard boards will survive the upgrade to HB3, coming next month.
Will people even bother???
They hardly even bother now!!!

Man I have trouble even getting on HB half the time with their upgrade crap. I really wonder why they didn't just leave it alone because if you look at it there was some talk of charging for use here and stuff. Or being able to use certain capabilities on the boards. Okay if we have a board and have to pay to be able to moderate it why bother sticking around when we have other options available to us. I just dunno what they are doing here anymore. Seems like they have kind of screwed not only themselves on this upgrade but us too. [img]frown.gif[/img]
Wow, We are having a conversation, I likez it.
Hello Mum, Mr Danger Dude and Mommy Kristan, glad to see you stopping by.
I have mixed feelings about myspace, I have found lost freinds through their search, but its hard to kinda carry on a conversation with the comments, altho I do admitt that I use the myspace IM alot to chat with a few friends.
I love Hostboard, but like most people, I have neglected not only my board but my friends too.
I hope to rectify this in the upcoming weeks.
I appreciate the input my friends, thanks for stopping by.

The current system is dated, slow non-upgradeable an administrative headache for me on a day to day basis.
HB3 destroys HB2 on every level.
I can tell you that HB3 will exceeed the current systems "free" ablities ten fold and that the pay options at this point will be extensions of what it offers.
Yes it has been a long time coming. We have lost developers over time that failed to deliver a product which put us back at least 2 years but I never lost the dream of moving foward. We finaly have someone who has produced a working product and now we are working on refining it. We are looking to port the data over and if all goes well the new system is scheduled to go live in Sept.
As for enabling the extended attributes in a pay to play, do you realize the thousands of dollars I pay out each year to allow places like this to exist? All I am doing is trying to recoup operating costs at bare minimum and provide you with a better site. My bad I guess...
Have a nice weekend [img]smile.gif[/img]
I still cant login on HB3.
It wont recognize my user name password or e-mail addy [img]frown.gif[/img]
The best place to keep up on this long awaited upgrade is at the HB Administrative Message Board.
http://www.hostboard.com/cgi-bin/ult.../ubb/forum/f/1
It sounds like it's getting close, although it has sounded like that before.
I believe all ACTIVE message boards will be transferred but you may need to be involved.
ie. if necessary I intend to start a NEW Cherie Currie board there, so there is a place for the old board archives to be linked to!
I believe all inactive boards here, will end up being deleted.
Assuming the old Runaways board (which is now inactive) will be deleted, I convinced the "owners" of it to back up the archives, on their own web site.
Let's hope for the best during this period of transition!

Hey Gregg, right now only official testers can log in.
If you are so inclined, you could volunteer to be an official tester.
It looks like it's coming along nicely to me and there are definitely going to be some aspects of HB3 which put HB2 to shame!
I appreciate all Steven has done and is trying to do to make our message board experience a good one!
More later,
Gus
sounds complicated to me..I like to keep things simple...
Just driving by to reply to what Steven posted up ^there^
i had a thriving forum for a couple of years, called BuzzCore a few years back.
i first registered around hb in 2000, i believe, back when Bjorn was the head honcho, for lack of a better word...
there were many busy forums then, lots of traffic and a pretty decent community.
and a supposed female named sweet-pea that was really a man,
posing as an administrator (or maybe that was an actual, if misguided privelige given to sp)
trolling around here sharing naughty pics and playing tricks on unsuspecting males [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img]
i miss that stuff, but do appreciate that hb is still here.
I'm not sure when I first discovered HB, I think it was about '01, but for the first year or so I never explored the many HB catagorys or boards. I was hooked on The Runaways & Cherie Currie. It wasn't until a few years later that I started roaming the list of boards and checking them out.
I still do that by checking thje active boards list (thats how I found Buzzcore V.2 and my neighbor LoveBeezel)
I have a site already registared at HB3 called Channel 13, but I don't visit it very often (before Beta testing). The only ones I saw over there were a few of the Beanscene regulars.
But no matter what, I do like HB [img]cool.gif[/img]
